You're lost in reveriesIt's warm enough to sleep in the camper overnight again. When I open my eyes this morning it's raining and the door is open. Loch is cooking mashed potatoes and tea on the tiny burners. He's already got cheese melting on bread on plates at the table. My stomach rumbles uncomfortably and I turn over and put my head under the pillow.
Holding back the tears
Faint sound of the wires
The butterfly is in the fire now
Lost in a memory you're holding my hands
One heart is in the ground
The other is veiled in the silver all around
Born under a trouble sign
Will it hurt to see me find
The long lost peace of mind
Darling you had me here for a while
It breaks my heart to see you cry
In the wake of incomplete time
There's the thunderous sound I know so well. Breakfast is almost ready. Find your clothes.
Give me yours.
What will I wear to eat in?
Nothing. I smile. Just your hair and your boots.
Ah. I see yesterday's crassness hasn't faded a bit.
Nope.
I'll fix that later.
Good luck. PJ's got his hooks in good.
He passes me a plate filled to the brim and puts a mug on the shelf by my head, turning it so the handle is easy to reach. There. Breakfast in bed for my circus peanut.
He takes his own plate and joins me on top of the quilts, adding his mug to the shelf beside mine. His is blue, mine is green.
You slept, I think. I know I did.
I nod. Maybe we should reconstruct the camper in our bedroom.
That might not be a bad idea.
Think Ben would go for it?
If we see him, we can ask. Eat while it's hot, Bridgie.
